I was rooting for Catteral, but 9-3 is ridiculous. A draw would have been ok.

9-3 is fine, i scored it 8-4 and was generous to taylor in at least one of the rounds I gave him.

There's no argument for Taylor winning, the cleaner work and harder shots were from Catterall.

Any American fighter going to UK to fight is crazy. The judging there is corrupt and a disgrace like Arum said. Taylor is from Scotland considered a rival of England. So the corruption happens when any fighter not from the UK fights there, and It’s about time somebody stood up to the scam that takes place there. Foreign fighters must win by KO or TKO, otherwise it’s an automatic win for the local fighters. For women fighters it’s even worse.

Recently Mikaela Mayer got jobbed against Natasha Jonas. But there is a pattern of obvious corruption there and that he BBoBC hasn’t done a dam thing about it. American fighters should boycott ever fighting there. Kudos to Bob Arum for finally speaking the truth about the UK scam.

Jack won the fight but those two cards were as mad as the scoring in their first contest ...Jack wins but lies under a shadowed controversy again through no fault of his own ...But old Bobby boy needs to keep off the blow....there was only one winner and it wasn't courageous Josh..!

Boxrec scorers got it 8-4 Jack. Is 9-3 Jack THAT crazy?

[Misia]

Didn't see the fight but judging. By the comments not surprised by the controversy. Best way forward would be completely neutral referees and scorers

Gimme a break! Arum is just smart and calculated, as by doing that he effectively saved Taylor and his investment into Taylor by making people's last memory of the fight a claim of robbery so Taylor will still try and save face and his reputation as a top fighter.

1) It was two Brits under the British Board of Control and they ripped of Cateral last time and Bon said nothing.
2) I thought Alicia won the Mayer fight , they were both American and Mayer was the house fighter .. ffs
3) US judges are awful to Brits .. Sandy Ryan was clearly ripped off by some bought judges in the US against McCaskil for instanec.
4) This is why home advantage matters and fighters like RJJ who would't fight in their prime away from home should not be respected, winning away from your home country you're probably a round down but that's common in all sports .

Going to rewatch this...I thought it was much closer than most everyone else. I'm English and I guess I am mildly happy for Jack...I thought Josh looked very strong at the weight.Jack, I think will have problems with physical guy like Matias.
